I've been so excited to try some of these mug cake recipes I was looking up over the weekend. I had already tried the strawberry mug cake from IBIH. It was wonderful. I wondered if it would work with blackberries. It did! I had to microwave a little bit longer, but other than that it turned out beautifully. The whipped cream started to melt a bit because the cakes were still warm, but it created some ooey gooey deliciousness.

Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl (or in a small saucepan on the stove). Add the rest of the cake ingredients and stir to combine.

For mugs: Divide batter between two coffee mugs. Microwave for 90 seconds. Test for doneness, add a few seconds as necessary. Do not overcook!

To bake in the oven: Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 18 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the Blackberry Cream:

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Combine the blackberry puree and sweetener. Fold the blackberry mixture gently into the whipped cream. Spoon or pipe onto the mug cakes.

On a road trip last weekend I told my husband to try to come up with some foods he wanted to try. We brainstormed for a while and came up with a pretty good list. He mentioned stromboli. I wasn't familiar with it. I should mention that he worked at a fancy Italian restaurant when we started dating 8 years ago. He has a lot of knowledge on Italian cuisine. I on the other hand have relatively none, but I'm learning. When we got home I went on the hunt for a keto stromboli recipe. I found a promising one here, and that is what I will be attempting for the first time tonight.

Stromboli

Ingredients

4 tbsp Almond Flour

3 tbsp Coconut Flour

4 tbsp butter melted

1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (140 grams)

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) (I did this and it was way too hot for me and my son. I will omit it or scale it way back next time.)

1 egg (large)

Filling

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (This is what I used this time, but in the future I will use more.)

Whatever you want

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Melt butter in the microwave and set aside.

Combine spices with shredded cheese and melt in the microwave at 30% power for about 2 mins in a 1200 watt microwave.

Add almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter and egg to your melted cheese and combine. (Use 4 tbsp coconut flour OR omit the butter if you are using a higher fat cheese, anything over 5 grams per 28 gram serving IF it's too wet when you mix your ingredients. If you have to add the extra coconut flour then extend the baking time from 15 mins to 20 mins.)

Microwave the dough/batter for 5-10 seconds to make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

Before rolling out the dough microwave again for 10 seconds.

Form a rectangle on top of parchment paper, place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out into a rectangular shape.

Slice the sides (the longest sides) to get nice straight edges with a pizza cutter.

Using the pizza cutter slice the strips on each side evenly. Only go about a third of the way in to leave room for the filling.

Add the cheese and toppings to the middle of your dough and fold the strips over the top.

The Stromboli was pretty good. Next time I will tone down the red pepper and stuff a lot more into it. Michael also wants sage on his side. I'm not so sure. I did pretty good on my calories and carbs. I came in at 1344 calories and 22 carbs.

Welcome!

Thanks for checking out my site. I'm Brooke, and I'm trying out keto and low carb recipes from all over the web in between raising my two young boys. I'm also coming up with quite a few of my own recipes and documenting my successes and failures here.
